Can my AI automatically find the details and activity for a specific job just by providing its UUID?

Yes! Use the `get_job` tool with the Job UUID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including status, scheduled times, and specific operational notes in seconds.

How do I list all staff members to check availability?

Simply ask the agent to run the `list_staff` action. It will retrieve the full directory of staff members configured in your ServiceM8 account.

How do I find my ServiceM8 API Key?

Log in to your ServiceM8 dashboard, navigate to **Settings** > **ServiceM8 Add-ons**, and enable the **API** add-on to find your unique API Key.
